Letter from MIR. MnIlken,

The following letter appears in yesterdays
Argus:
BELFAST, Sept. g. 1887.
TO the Editor Of the argus:
My attention has this moment been called
to several items in the Argus stating that it
was said in an Interview between my brother
and the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury Department that compact had
existed between me and the late architect.
Mr.. Bell, by which 1sly brother was to have
an increase of salary in return for my vote
in Congress.
know nothing Of any conversation which
may have occurred between the present
Supervising Architect and my brother ex-
cept that the latter in letter to me denies
having said anything from which the report-
ed statement could be justly inferred.
l, however, deem it my duty to Mr.. Bell as
well as to myself to say that from Whatever
source this absurd statement NAV have
originated, it is without the slightest Shadow
of foundation in truth.
do not not know nor did ever hear of
any subject before Cangress in which MT.
Bell expressed an interest, unless he NAV
have done so in regard to the appropriation
for the architects office.
But that matter goes to the committee on
appropriations, and not to any committee Of
which / have eyer been member; and /
have never interfered with it, nor attemptsd
to do so, either before the COMMITTEES on an
preparations, or in Congress. or elsewhere.
but have voted, as | think every other mem,
| Der of the House has done, for such sums as
the appropriations committee has reported
| and recommended to the House. Indeed I
| do not remember that there has been any
| controversy or even division upon that item
| in the appropriation bills in the House dur
| ing nv service there. And it is true not on
| ly that no conversation, or Communication.
| or understanding ever existed between me
| and Mr.. Bell relative to any appropriation or
vote in Congress, with even the remotest ref
| erence TO any advantage to my brother or
| any one else, but / happened to be one Of
| those unattractive men who has never been
| improperly approached by any one during
| nv public service. Lobbyists, whether from
| the departments or elsewhere, have never
come to me with propositions. have not
| known them.
One of the items referred to says threaten
| inglv that "the authorities Of the Treasury
| propose to bring the matter to the attention
| Of Congress at the coming session. sSThe
authorities of the Treasury" can do nothing
which will please me more. 1t may perhaps
| not be improper for me to state in this con-
nection that my brother was not appointed
| through my influence, but that he received
| his place long before / entered Congress. and
| that while would gladly do any proper thinc
for his benefit, his retention in Office mas been
urged not so much by me as by many Of his
| old comrades in arms-among whom so uIg.
| ing his retention are some Of the most promi-
nent and influential Democrats in Maine.

rwo MORE aAMEs TODAY.

TWO MORE GAMES TODAY.
The Lynns will play two more games with
the Portlands this afternoon, the first one to
be started at o'clock. Shaw will pitch one
of them, and there will be much interest to
see II he retains his old-time effectiveness
But one admission will be charged to both
games. Today is ladies' day.
PoRTLANDs, s.; hymns, l.
The Portlands easily defeated the Lynns
yesterday in the first game, which resulted
as above. They were unable to fathom Hat

One Of these was home run by CorcOran.
the only run scored by the visitors. Hatfield
was very steady in his work also. giving but
two men their bases on balls. Fitzgerald
pitched for the visitors and was not hit hard
either. The Portlands did not earn a run,
but all Of the eight we're scored in the first
inning on errors. Two hits, three bases on
balls, passed ball, wild pitch, two fumbles,
a dropped fly and batsman hit by pitched
ball-all this was the cause Of the eight runs
After the first inning the Lynns settled
down to business and did better work But
six innings were played, as the first inning
was so long that 1t looked as II there
wouldn't be time to play the second game.
The feature OF the game, outside Of Hatheld's
pitching, was catch Of a fly of Hatfeld's
bat by Leighton. The score:

Modern Sweet Corn Packing.

1t is all done by machinery now the husk-
ing, cutting, scraping and silking Of the ear,
and the can-flling is all the work of ma
chimes in the best equipped factories. The
husking machine, which will husk one BUSH
ell of corn per minute, and has husked as
many as 100 bushels in an hour, is fed by
two men, at two different places. The corn
is handed to the men by two boys, and two
more boys are kept busy removing the corn
when it is husked and keeping the machine
clear.
Then the corn is cut at the rate OF one
bushel in one and half minutes, by ma
chine run by steam, and then it passes
through another machine that will remove
the silk in half that time. 1t is now ready
for the press, by means of which between 60
and 20 cans can be filed in a minute. After
this the can is sealed, bathed in boiling wa
ter for about an hour, then the air is let out
Of the cans, which are re-sealed and steamed
in large retorts for one hour and twenty
minutes. The can is now ready, when cool,
to store away, and will keep for years.
The work of the machines on bushel of
corn, from the moment it passes into the
husking machine until it is pressed into the
cans, occupies less than three minutes and
fifty seconds Of time, or less time than il
would require to husk single bushel Of ears
by hand.

sembly to have exclusive control over its af-
fairs, so long as the constitution of the gen.
eral assembly is not violated. In matters
concerning strikes, no trade or local assem-
bly, is to enter upon one until all of the as
senblles in the national trade assembly have
voted on the question, and by three
1ourths vote have agreed to render assistance.
The general laws of the order requiring at
tempts at arbitration are to be observed No
assistance from the general order is to be
given until the case has been presented to
the general executive board and by them
submitted to the order at large. In case
that no assistance from the general order is
required the general executive board is not
to interfere with the matter Each national
trade assembly is to have bureau of statis-
tics and information concerning the state
and condition OF trade.
Powderly also advocates general benefit
association to include the entire order.
